Ilia Topuria disappointed by Paddy Pimblett's performance vs Justin Gaethje

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with how Paddy Pimblett fought against Justin Gaethje, saying he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how bad. Topuria also stated that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his lightweight title because he plans to continue defending at 155 pounds. Jiri Prochazka revealed he can't let go of his loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was at 40-50 percent capacity due to injury and fought in sparring mode, waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering him a 25-minute striking masterclass.
